Series 103 Marvin Bu Ga Lu Smith-RON PETRIDES,David Schnitter
This Series 103 of Marvin Bu Ga Lu Smith's Master performances are a documentation of 1 of over 1,000 vimeos that this MASTER DRUMMER/EDUCATOR has recorded.
This is "THE TRUTH BE TOLD, BETTER THAN HOLLYWOOD" Series # 103 PART 1 OF THE MASTER SESSIONS OF MARVIN BU GA LU SMITH
The evening was very special as the ALLSTAR LINE-UP OF PLAYERS were so intense. Marvin Bu Ga Lu Smith always has surprises and NOTHING IS REHEARSED, EVERYTHING IS IN THE SPLIT MOMENT, THE BLINK OF AN EYE, THE CONTINUOUS CHANGES AND COLORFUL,EMOTIONAL SOUND CONVERSATIONS THAT TAKE PLACE BETWEEN EACH PLAYER. THE ONLY THING LEFT OUT OF THIS SESSION ARE EGOS. MARVIN ALWAYS TEACHES THE STUDENTS TO LEAVE THEM AT THE FRONT DOOR. THE MASTER PLAYERS THAT ARE GATHERED HERE TONIGHT GREW UP WITH THOSE TEACHINGS AS DID MARVIN. The session starts out with Master Piero Borri playing drums and MASTER David Schnitter is on Tenor Sax with MASTER DR. RON PETRIDES ON GUITAR and MASTER LEW SCOTT ON BASS. The first song swings hard as David Schnitter plays the head and expresses himself beautifully, flowing and building up excitement playing harder than ever. I think Schnitter's background with Art Blakey and The Jazz Messengers gave Dave such a strong foundation early in his career, now he has evolved into such a MAJOR PLAYER and is tremendous demand by his peers because of his individually developed way of communicating the most intense sounds to anybody that listens to him. Dave has a special gift of making that TENOR SAX SOUND LIKE A HUMAN VOICE, HIS OWN VOICE. Dave is one of my all time favorites and has earned the LEGENDARY TITLE OF MASTER IN MY BOOK. Just listen to the first 6 minutes of the first tune and see how he builds and builds and builds such "GOOSE BUMP EXCITEMENT." His beautiful tone is so rich and full of feeling, screaming out with JOY and HAPPINESS and also expressing some great balance between TRADITION and EXPERIMENTATION within the moment that exists between the SPLIT SECOND SILENCE OF SPACE NOTE AFTER NOTE. The music swings on that horn as he also has the drummer in mind beat after beat. When Dave is done with his conversation after 6 minutes of such colorful, harmonic sound, Master Ron Petrides answers those expressions with his idea of JOY. Ron starts building on what he heard coming from Dave and now the music continues down the path of HARD, SWINGING ADVENTURES AS MANY AVENUES ARE EXPLORED. Ron is continuosly resolving his statements and making it easy for each player to respond and keep everything on the move swinging harder and harder than before. Ron's sound is so unique on that guitar and his phrasing is so easy to understand. He always tries to keep the listener in mind because he has such an interesting story to tell and he uses that guitar to move your emotions in his direction. His sound and terrific CHOPS get your attention right away and you can't wait for the NEXT PHRASE and GROUPINGS OF IDEAS TO GO DOWN. In the meantime, Master Piero Borri interacts, comping beautifully on the drums and he has learned so much from MASTER MARVIN BU GA LU SMITH about playing "IN THE MOMENT, FLOWING AND ADAPTING TO CHANGE THAT Pierro is considered to be in great demand by his peers just like Master David Schnitter and MASTER DR. RON PETRIDES. Yes,Yes, Yes, Master Lew Scott solos beautifully like a LION IN THE WIND. He is so powerful and gentle at the same time. His pedal tones are always anchored and the chords that Ron lays down are beatifully backed by Lew's BASS TONES. Lew Scott is an in demand bass player because he is USER FRIENDLY. He is always a joy to swing with and he opens the door for new ideas to be easily expressed. I enjoyed the 12 bar exchanges in this piece of music and the wide open space that existed for everyone to breath through. Because the entire session had NATURAL BREATH and great excitement building throughout the evening IT WAS NO WONDER THAT BY THE TIME THE BAND WAS WARMED UP FOR BU GA LU BY THE SECONG SONG, Master Marvin Bu Ga Lu Smith showed everybody HIS MASTERFUL TOUCH AND SOUND SO UNIQUE TO HIM. Marvin gets a tone out of those drums that I've NEVER HEARD ANYONE ELSE GET. He is so smooth, gentle but also STRONG WITH FORCE WHEN FELT AND NEEDED. He changes like the wind and sounds like the wind with fire underneath it. He also is constantly changing mood when necessary. Marvin is one of the MOST CREATIVE and EXPRESSIVE DRUMMERS IN THE WORLD. HE ALSO TEACHES STUDENTS TO DEVELOP THEIR OWN UNIQUE SOUND AND CREATE FROM THEIR OWN IDEAS AND TO EXPOUND AND PUSH FORWARD WITH THINKING. HE TEACHES BALANCE, LOVE AND PEACE THROUGH ACTIONS OF COMPASSION. The music tonight represents in my mind, the FIGURE 8. If you draw a line on the horizon you see all the branches of the TREE ABOVE THE SURFACE but all THE ROOTS OF THE TREE THAT YOU DON'T SEE ARE STILL PRESENT and THEY ARE in the ground moving in the opposite direction and are as long as many of the branches causing BALANCE and keeping the TREE UPRIGHT. Yeah, Balance is always there in this music because the players are balanced and able to express that balance effortlessly because THEY ARE ALL MASTERS OF LIFE, TELLING THEIR STORY TO EACH OTHER WITH BEAUTIFUL SOUND VIBRATIONS. They told a wonderful story tonight and that story is documented here forever on this SERIES 103, one of over 1,000 performance teaching videos of Master Marvin Bu Ga Lu Smith. Marvin was written about in the Feb. 2011 issue of Modern Drummer Magazine and has been interviewed all over the world. Marvin has performed with all the MASTERS OF MUSIC and the proof is in the video of his drum students and DRUM CREW like Andrew Greeney, Jan Jurgielewicz, Fitzgerald Sam, Dougie Bueno and so many others that are now "ON THE SCENE". Piero Borri is one of Marvin's TOP STUDENTS. Piero came to the USA to visit Master Marvin and do The International Drum Workshop of the earlier Series 102 that was recorded a week ago and can also be viewed here on vimeo. I loved listening to this music and am honored to be called upon to write about it.

Series 102 Marvin Bu Ga Lu Smith's Int'l Drum Workshop
The Series 102 liner notes are finished. I thank you again for honoring me with the opportunity to express myself in words. Yes,yes,yes, THE MUSIC HEALS and EVERYONE NEEDS TO EXPERIENCE IT. IT'S ACTUALLY PROOF WHEN YOU HAVE OVER 1,000 VIDEOS TO REFER TO. NO OTHER MUSICIAN IN THE WORLD HAS OVER 1,000 VIDEOS MY BROTHER AND FRIEND MASTER MARVIN. GO WITH IT AS THESE DOCUMENTATIONS ARE ARCHIVED FOREVER. I HOPE FOLKS GET TO YOU WHILE YOU'RE STILL IN THIS WORLD, END OF MAY, 2011.
Here are the notes from my heart:
A LOVE SUPREME WITH ONLY DRUMS. The Series 102 here is the 2nd section of MARVIN BU GA LU SMITH'S INTERNATIONAL DRUM WORKSHOP FEATURING HIS TOP STUDENT FROM ITALY, MASTER PIERO BORRI. Piero is right here with Marvin and there are three drum sets staged in the studio so some of Marvin's other students can participate with these two masters and FEEL THE GROOVE THAT ONLY LOVE SUPREME CAN SPARK. Marvin and Piero start out talking gently to each other in Harmonic tones unheard of with just DRUMS and NO OTHER INSTRUMENTS. It is an example of how drums can MELT TOGETHER and CREATE ORCHESTRATIONS, SYMPHONIES OF BEAUTIFUL SOUNDS, SOUNDS MADE FROM ONE VILLAGE TO ANOTHER IN AFRICA where people talk through drums instead of on CELL PHONES and WALKIE TALKIES. Marvin and Piero take us all to TRADITION right here tonight at THE TALMADGE SESSIONS IN MARVIN BU GA LU SMITH'S PRIVATE STUDIO AT BUMAR RECORDS, HIS PERSONAL RECORD COMPANY. Here, Andrew Greeney and Jan Jurgielewicz, two of Marvin's drum crew students construct the videos of these sessions and tonight they will also appear playing with both MASTER MARVIN and MASTER PIERO, learning from THE MASTERS' LIFE EXPERIENCES. Yes, this well documented teaching in THE INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP is so valuable for anyone who wants to learn DIRECTLY FROM THE MASTERS. Piero Borri spent years living with Marvin in Italy and asking questions about Marvin's life and his INNER SPIRITUAL SENSE. Practicing drums was a necessity. It's all hard work and doesn't happen unless one puts YEARS OF PRACTICE BOTH IN LIFE and ON THE DRUMS. IT'S A COMMUNICATION OF AN INDIVIDUALS BEAUTIFUL LIFE TO OTHERS SO THAT EVERYONE CAN FEEL FROM THE INSIDE THE JOY'S AND THE PAINS AND THE BALANCE THAT RESULTS FROM THE TWO. IT'S THE YING and YANG. IT'S THE NATURAL FLOW and THE WILLINGNESS TO MAKE CHANGES AND GO WITH CHANGES JUST LIKE WATER CHANGING FROM A LIQUID TO A GAS AND BACK TO WATER. IT'S THE ADAPTION OF WATER FITTING ITSELF INTO A VASE BUT ALSO BECOMING ICE, SNOW HAIL and THEN BACK TO LIQUID FROM A SOLID AS TEMPERATURES CHANGE. Yeah, the temperatures were changing here all night long. SIMPLY LISTEN AND YOU WILL FEEL GOOD. IT'S GETTING HIGH ON THE TRUTH OF LIFE. MUSIC IS A HEALING DRUG, A MEDICINE THAT'S NATURAL DIRECTLY FROM UNIVERSAL SPACE AND TIME. IT CAN BE HERE, THEN THERE, THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN, ANYWHERE. IT HAPPENS BECAUSE IT'S NOT PRE-MEDITATED OR REHEARSED, AFTER ALL, WE DON'T REHEARSE OUR LIFE, IT'S NATURAL. JUST LISTEN TO HOW NATURAL AND FLOWING THESE DRUMS SOUND FROM THESE TWO MASTERS, Marvin Bu Ga Lu Smith and Piero Borri. These are some of the MOST INTENSE DRUM LESSON EXAMPLES THAT I HAVE EVER HEARD BECAUSE THE COMMUNICATE TO THE STUDENTS is so real with COMPASSION and a SENSE OF GIVING. EGOS ARE LEFT OUTSIDE ON THE DOOR STEP. Marvin Bu Ga Lu Smith was written up in the February 2011 issue of MODERN DRUMMER MAGAZINE and there will be many more articles and interviews in other magazines and on radio and television. Marvin Bu Ga Lu Smith has more teaching videos on drumming with real performance examples. He has over 1,000 videos available and right now, they can all be seen on both youtube and on vimeo. Yes, curious musicians should take these documentations seriously while Marvin Bu Ga Lu Smith is here now in this world and available to all people who want to learn from him. Listen carefully my friends and experience THE HEALING POWER OF THIS MUSIC and then LISTEN TO IT AGAIN and AGAIN just the way Piero Borri did it for years and he was able to "GET IT" and this SERIES 101 and 102 on vimeo is the example that it can be done. Listen to Andrew Greeney, Jan Jurgielewicz and other Marvin Bu Ga Lu Smith STUDENTS. They are all the LIVING EXAMPLES OF THIS GREAT, GREAT MASTER MARVIN BU GA LU SMITH and THE ACTUAL PROOF ON VIDEO TAPE THAT IT CAN BE DONE. NOBODY HAS THIS MANY TEACHING RESOURCES ON VIDEO. I was so amazed at the results that I hear on these two INTERNATIONAL DRUM WORKSHOP SESSIONS. REPRESENTATION OF BOTH USA MASTER DRUMMING and ITALIAN MASTER DRUMMING. HATS OFF TO THE TWO OF YOU FOR PRODUCING ONE OF THE BEST TEACHING TOOLS I'VE EVER ENCOUNTERED.
LOVE ALWAYS and ALWAYS LOVE,

Series # 101 Marvin Bu Ga Lu Smith/Piero Borri
This Series # 101 of The Truth Be Told Master Sessions of Marvin Bu Ga Lu Smith is one of over 1,000 MASTERFUL TEACHING SESSIONS and should be listened to by all interested in learning from a MASTER and his top student who learned by example and by HARD PRACTICE and LISTENING CAREFULLY.
SHARING, CARING, GIVING, EGOLESS, RESPECT FOR SPACE! These are some of the important things you hear and see when listening and watching what's going on here in SERIES# 101 PART 1 of THE MASTER SESSIONS OF THESE TWO INTERNATIONAL DRUMMERS. Marvin Bu Ga Lu Smith was Piero Borri's teacher and taught Piero everything he could because Piero had the desire to learn and to LISTEN. Listening is key to everything. If we don't have the ability to listen to what others are saying then we will never grow because we think we know it all but when we LISTEN, we LEARN. We are all students of life and learn to communicate our individual experiences to others. If we lose our EGO then we have the opportunity to GROW and GROW is what's happening here. I hear and see two MASTER DRUMMERS that can communicate well. The most important thing I hear in this session is the exchange of ideas that each of these two people have. I am so glad to have the opportunity to be a part of a GREAT TEACHING EXPERIENCE FOR ALL DRUMMERS. Marvin once told me that Piero spent over two years listening and learning by doing. Piero studied what he listened to and was able to understand where MASTER MARVIN was coming from through musical, drumming statements. Many of those statements are being made here tonight for other students to TUNE IN TO and also practice and learn HOW TO FLOW and become ROUND, not square. If you listen hard, you'll actually hear musical, harmonic tones coming out of both drum sets as Marvin and Piero create songs blending all the drums and cymbals together. The drums sound beautiful and FULL OF COLORS. I felt so much emotion coming out of these two guys. Both were over-joyed and HAPPY TO GIVE IT ALL AWAY. NO SECRETS HERE, JUST HARD WORK and LOT'S OF PRACTICE. I can't wait to hear both of these MASTERS PLAY MORE. I'm on the edge of my seat listening. THEY HAVE DRAWN MY ATTENTION and I HOPE THEY DRAW YOURS. AGAIN, ALL STUDENTS, LISTEN VERY CAREFULLY AND LEARN. LEARN THE WAY PIERO DID, BY EXAMPLE OF A GREAT GREAT MASTER, DR. MARVIN BU GA LU SMITH, EDUCATOR AND MUSICAL DRUM GENIUS.
LOVE ALWAYS and ALWAYS LOVE,

Why Not Look Into The Center Of It All
The center of it all is deep inside yourself. Who are you? You are a unique person because you were created as an individual, YOU, and nobody else. We are so gifted and beautiful that no two people are cloned. The creator is deep inside yourself and you came through WATER where you swam around inside your MOTHER'S WOUND but before that, you were always CONNECTED TO THE UNIVERSE. The human body is a miniature representation of THE UNIVERSE and SPACE. At THE CELL LEVEL, it's amazing how this miniaturization of SPACE represents itself. Yes, there's a BALANCE that MUST TAKE PLACE in every human being just like THE BALANCE IN NATURE. We are all CONNECTED TO LIFE, plants, cells of all kinds, THE SUN, MOON MOTHER EARTH and as ST. FRANCIS CALLED IT, BROTHER, SUN, SISTER DEATH. The male and female side of earything is represented deep inside and THE BALANCE keeps all things in CONSTANT FLOW.
FIRE, WIND, WATER, EARTH, it's all an integral part of life, MOMENT TO MOMENT. Musicians that recognize TRUTH, play this out in every breath and heart-beat, every actual split second is REALITY OF LIFE AS WE KNOW IT. The years we spend here on earth are experiences that we relate to and stories to be told through our musical statements. When we combine our feelings about our individualized experiences with those of other musicians, we then have songs, sound vibrations blending together creating HARMONY. HARMONY is BEAUTIFUL and it's HEALING MEDICINE. MUSIC HEALS. If you are able to connect yourself to these SOUND VIBRATIONS and become less of self but more of
"A GIVER" to others, then you have found that inner peace that you hear others talking about. Yes, we all have to respect life and allow our UNIQUE INDIVIDUALISM TO FLOWER and GROW. THE EGO IS OUR WORST ENEMY and LOVE IS OUR BEST FRIEND AS LOVE WAS THE IDEA BEHIND CREATION, THE LOVE OF EVERYBODY NOT SIMPLY THE SELF. WE HAVE AN OBLIGATION TO KNOW WHO WE ARE AND NOT BE AFRAID OF FACING THE TRUTH ABOUT OURSELVES.
More on the topic of MUSIC AS HEALING MEDICINE AS THIS WILL BE AN OPEN BLOG ABOUT EDUCATION IN THE FIELD OF MUSIC. PLEASE COMMENT AS YOUR ARTICLES ARE IMPORTANT AS LONG AS THEY HAVE TRUTH IN THEM.
